Monogrammed Beverage Server+ Recipe+Printables

Thrift store basket, recycled bottles, spray paint & vinyl!

It didn't take much time, money or energy to put together this Monogramed Summertime Beverage Server!

This is how we did it!

We found a basket at the thrift store for .99 cents. We already had the glass bottles and spray paint in our stash. We set about spray painting the basket. This was our very first experience using vinyl. We cut it on our cricuit, since we have not won a Silhouette machine yet! Not a bad experience, and we will definitely be working with vinyl again.

We printed out our initials

and whipped up some flower embellishments and tied them onto our bottles.

Wethought we would help you get into the Summertime party mood by providing you with a homemade Lemonade recipe & Lemonade Party printables!

{for our Lemonade, we added strawberries. A handful of strawberries, a little water and purred in the blender, than added to the Lemonade mixture~yummy!}

In a 1 gallon container, place sugar and hot water, and stir until sugar dissolves. Add lemon juice and cold water to render 1 gallon. Stir until well mixed. Pour lemonade over glasses of ice, squeeze slice of lemon on top of each, and garnish with a sprig of mint.

FreeLemonade Party printables from Fun.kty Time, a really cool blog you have to check out!

Have we inspired you to keep your bottles and make a summertime beverage server for the family?! Don't forget some nice ice cold refreshing lemonade with a cute straw flag and tag!

Remember, keep it Homespun!

and the good man rewarded for his.

Very cute! I did something similar with large carafes and used white vinyl initials and polkadots & embellished with red,white, and blue ribbon for Memorial Day. I figured with a "neutral" vinyl I could just switch out my ribbon! I love your basket & flowers in your set though - too cute for summer!

These look amazing! I love the bottles...wish I could score some, they are so cute!I bought vinyl a while back with the intentions of trying it out with my cricut, but I haven't gotten up the nerve to try it for some reason. I really need to pull it out and get over my fears!

This is so cute! I'm dying for some summertime lemonade! Thanks so much for linking it up to my {re}create into something new blog party! Hope to see you next week for some more awe inspiring transformations!
